Question

Your mother is out of toothpicks, and suggests you use cotton swabs instead. You measure them, and they are 7.3 cm tall. How many cotton swabs tall will your model be? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we just have to divide 37.8 cm by 7.3 cm tall

`n=(37.8)/(7.3)\approx5.18`

Hence, the model will be approximately 5 cotton swabs tall.
